The problem with the DVD drive was that everyone just always assumes it'll always work. So when a case like the FT02 came along having the mobo pointed in a different direction, all of a sudden there was a problem that NO ONE bothered to bring up in any review out there, because no one thought there could possibly be a problem with installing a DVD drive of all things.

Sure it doesn't affect this specific case, but glossing over these things will only lead to more valid criticisms being overlooked on future cases because of assumptions.

Actually, the RV02 was the first case of Silverstone's to change the layout and orientation that specific way.

The FT02 came out later and was based on the same design.

HWC pointed out the exact same problem you mentioned (with the RV02) so....
